I love summer

I seriously am in love with summer. I love the hot weather and all of the fun things that we get to do. We have been on some good hikes lately. Last week we went up to Diamond Fork hot springs by Spanish Fork. It was so beautiful! I was surprised at how hot some of the pools were. Some of them had boiling water in them; they were that hot. It would be perfect for a winter day...but not much fun when it is already scorching outside. We did find one pool that had some cold water running through it, so it was perfect for Zachary and for us to play in.

You can tell by Zachary's face that he is just loving the water. That boy is a little fish. Once he is in water, it is a big struggle to get him out. This hike was way fun, we went with some great friends and spent about 7 hours out there. Theo ended up needing stitches once we were back home. He decided to explore a waterfall, which would have been perfectly fine if he were wearing shoes; but, he wasn't. He ended slicing the skin between his big toe and the toe next to it. I'll spare you the pictures, it is pretty gruesome. He thought it was pretty cool that you can see the bone. Theo really didn't want or think that he needed stitches. He was ready to do the whole, clean it out and put super glue in it; which by the way, I am sure works, but I think it is so weird. So, we did in fact go in and get stitches. About 12 stitches later, the Dr. said that if he hadn't come in, the wound would have for sure gotten infected and taken forever to heal. This was Theo's first visit to the Dr.'s since we have been married. That is pretty good for 3 years of marriage. Especially since everyone said that it was a good thing he was marrying a nurse because he gets hurt a lot.
